FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a partner matching method in a costarring video according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the partner matching method in a costarring video includes the following steps:

Step 302: Obtain a video recorded by a first user identifier and in which a first role is played by the first user.

In this embodiment, the first user identifier is used for uniquely representing an identity of a user in a video in which the first role is being played by the user. The first user identifier may be a character string, or the like. The character string may be one or more combinations of numbers, letters or characters, such as adc or adc123. The first user identifier may alternatively be a mobile number, an instant communication number, an e-mailbox, or the like. A video recorded by a first user by using a device such as a camera and in which the first role is played by the first user is obtained.

Step 304: Obtain a configured user type, a video in which a second role that matches the first role is played and a second user identifier that plays the second role in each user type.

In this embodiment, the user type may be configured according to a requirement. The user type may include a first user type, a second user type, a third user type, a fourth user type, a fifth user type, and the like, and is not limited thereto.

For example the user type may include a star, a friend of a user, a person followed by a user, an expert, a common user, or the like. A star is a person with a particular identity. A friend of a user is an instant communication friend or mobile contact friend, or the like. A person followed by a user is a person followed by the user in a social application program. An expert is a specialist or an outstanding person in a field. A common user is a user except a star, a friend of a user, a person followed by a user, and an expert.

When a user type is obtained, a user list corresponding to the user type is obtained. In a user list of each user type, all user identifiers in the user type and videos in which the user identifiers play a role are recorded. A video in which the second role is played and a second user identifier are found in the user list.

A video in which the second role is played and a second user identifier in each user type are obtained. The second user identifier is used for representing an identity of a user that plays the second role. The second user identifier may be a character string, or the like. The character string may be one or more combinations of numbers, letters or characters, such as adc or adc123. The second user identifier may alternatively be a mobile number, an instant communication number, an e-mailbox, or the like. For example, a video in which the second role is played by a star and a user identifier of the star that plays the role are obtained; a video in which the second role is played by a friend of a user and an identifier of the friend that is of the user and that plays the role are obtained; a video in which the second role is played by a person followed by a user and an identifier of the person followed by the user and playing the role are obtained; a video in which the second role is played by an expert and an identifier of the expert that plays the role are obtained; a video in which the second role is played by a common user and an identifier of the common user that plays the role are obtained.

All identifiers of users that play the second role are a second user identifier.

Step 306: Obtain a total score of videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier for each user type.

In this embodiment, because one user type may include videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by one or more second user identifiers, a score of a video in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier is evaluated, to obtain a total score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

For example, the user type is a star. Both a star A and a star B play the second role. A video in which the second role is played by the star A and a video in which the second role is played by the star B are obtained, and a total score of the video in which the second role is played by the star A and a total score of the video in which the second role is played by the star B are evaluated.

Step 308: Rank, in descending order of total score, the videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifiers for each user type.

In this embodiment, in each user type, the videos in which the second role is played are ranked in descending order of total score, that is, the videos in which the second role is played are ranked for each independent user type, and are not mixed with other user types. For example, a video in which the second role is played in the star type is not comparatively ranked with a video in which the second role is played in the user-friend type. In addition, the videos in which the second role is played for each user type may be ranked in ascending order of total score.

Certainly, it may be understood that, in another embodiment, all videos in which the second role is played in all user types may be ranked in descending order or in ascending order of total score.

Step 310: Respectively demonstrate a ranking result of the videos in which the second role is played for each user type.

In this embodiment, a ranking result of the videos in which the second role is played is demonstrated for each user type according to the user types. For example, when the user type is a star, a ranking result of videos in which the second role is played in the star type is demonstrated in the star type; when the user type is a friend of a user, a ranking result of videos in which the second role is played in the user-friend type is demonstrated in the user-friend type.

Step 312: Obtain a video selected from the ranking result and in which the second role is played.

In this embodiment, the video selected from the ranking result and in which the second role is played may be selected by the first user himself or by a system by default.

Step 314: Synthesize a complete video from the selected video in which the second role is played and the video in which the first role is played.

In this embodiment, the synthesizing a complete video from the video in which the first role is played and the video in which the second role is played is generally dividing the video in which the first role is played into multiple segments and dividing the video in which the second role is played into multiple segments, and alternately combining the multiple segments of the video in which the first role is played with the multiple segments of the video in which the second role is played, to form a complete video.

According to the foregoing partner matching method in a costarring video, the videos in which the second role that matches the first role is played for each user type are obtained, the videos are ranked according to the total scores, the ranking result is demonstrated, the video selected from the ranking result and in which the second role is played is obtained, and the complete video is synthesized from the video in which the first role is played and the video in which the second role is played. In this way, the video in which the second role is played is automatically obtained by matching according to the video in which the first role is played, and there is no need to wait for a user to actively play the second role, so that the efficiency of video synthesis is improved.

FIG. 4 is a specific flowchart of steps of obtaining a total score of videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier for each user type according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the step of obtaining a total score of videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier for each user type includes:

Step 402: Obtain a feedback score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

In an embodiment, step 402 includes: obtaining a sum of basic scores of all videos including the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier, and using the sum of the basic scores as the feedback score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

In this embodiment, the feedback score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier, that is, the Feed score is equal to the sum of the basic scores of all videos including the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier. For example, when the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier is placed into two costarring videos, the Feed score is a sum of a basic score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier and basic scores of the two costarring videos.

For example, a video in which the second role is played by a friend B of a user A is C, and the video C is placed into a video costarred by a user D and a video costarred by a user E, a feedback score of the video C is a sum of a basic score of the video C, a basic score of the video including the video C and costarred by the user D and the user B, and a basic score of the video including the video C and costarred by the user E and the user B.

A basic score of a video is a sum of a play score and an interaction score. The play score is an evaluated score of determining the quality of a thumbnail in a video. The quality of a thumbnail is the quality of a video itself, such as clarity and distortion. The interaction score is an evaluated score of determining the quality of video content. The quality of video content indicates whether recorded video content is enjoyable, or the like.

Further, the step of obtaining a sum of basic scores of all videos including the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier includes: obtaining a play score and an interaction score of each video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier, using a sum of the play score and the interaction score as a basic score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier, and then calculating a sum of all basic scores for videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

Further, the step of obtaining a play score and an interaction score of each video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier includes:

obtaining play times, demonstration times, comment times, and like times of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier;

obtaining, by multiplying a ratio of the play times to the demonstration times by a first coefficient factor, the play score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier; and

obtaining a product of the comment times and a second coefficient factor and a product of the like times and a third coefficient factor, and then obtaining a ratio of a sum of the two products to the play times, to obtain the interaction score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

In this embodiment, the play times is times for which a video is played. The demonstration times is times for which a video is displayed. Play score=a1*play times/demonstration times. Interaction score=(comment times*a2+like times*a3)/play times.

The comment times is times for which another user performs commenting. The like times is times for which another user performs liking. a1 is the first coefficient factor, a2 is the second coefficient factor, and a3 is the third coefficient factor. a1, a2, and a3 are parameter information obtained by means of information statistics and may be adjusted. In this embodiment, a1 is 5.6, a2 is 128, and a3 is 46.1.

Step 404: Obtain attribute information of a first user playing the first role and attribute information of each second user playing the second role.

In this embodiment, both the attribute information of the first user and the attribute information of each second user may be one or more of age, geographical location, gender, graduate school, birthplace, workplace, or the like of the user.

Step 406: Obtain an attribute score of each second user according to the attribute information of the first user and the attribute information of each second user.

In this embodiment, a basic score of the attribute score of the second user is 1. When the attribute information of the first user and the attribute information of the second user satisfy a preset condition, the attribute score of the second user is increased by a corresponding attribute score. For example, when the second user and the first user have different genders, the attribute score of the second user is increased by a corresponding attribute factor b1; when the first user and the second user are in a same region, the attribute score of the second user is increased by a corresponding attribute score b2; when a difference between the age of the first user and the age of the second user is within a specified range, the attribute score of the second user is increased by a corresponding attribute score b3. In this embodiment, b1 may be 0.2, b2 may be 0.1, and b3 may be 0.2.

Step 408: Obtain, according to a product of the attribute score of each second user and a corresponding feedback score, the corresponding total score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier.

In this embodiment, the total score of the video cp in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier=attribute score of each second user * feedback score. cp is a set of video segments of a single role in a complete video.

As shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the foregoing partner matching method in a costarring video further includes:

Step 502: Obtain a priority of each user type.

In this embodiment, the user type may include a first user type, a second user type, a third user type, a fourth user type, a fifth user type, and the like. Each user type has a priority. For example, it is set in such a manner that the priorities of the first user type, the second user type, the third user type, the fourth user type, and the fifth user type are in descending order.

Specifically, for example, the first user type is a star, the second user type is a friend of a user, the third user type is a person followed by a user, the fourth user type is an expert, and the fifth user type is a common user. Priorities of the star, the friend of a user, the person followed by a user, the expert and the common user are in descending order.

Step 504: Rank the user types in descending order of priority.

Step 506: Demonstrate the user types according to the level of the priorities.

According to the foregoing partner matching method in a costarring video, by setting the priorities for the user types, it is convenient to manage the user types according to the level of the priorities and recommend, according to the level of the priorities, a video in which the second role is played.

Further, in an embodiment, the foregoing partner matching method in a costarring video further includes: obtaining a maximum quantity of videos allowed to be demonstrated in each user type.

In this embodiment, the maximum quantity of videos allowed to be demonstrated is set for each user type. For example, the maximum quantity in the star type is 2, the maximum quantity in the user-friend type is 4, the maximum quantity in the type of a person followed by a user is 2, the maximum quantity in the expert type is 2, the maximum quantity in the common user type is 6, and the like. This is not limited thereto.

The step of respectively displaying a ranking result of the videos in which the second role is played for each user type includes:

when a quantity of videos in which the second role is played exceeds a corresponding maximum quantity in a user type, selecting, in descending order of total score of the videos in which the second role is played, videos of the maximum quantity for demonstration; or when a quantity of videos in which the second role is played does not exceed a corresponding maximum quantity in a user type, demonstrating all of the videos in which the second role is played in the user type.

In an embodiment, the foregoing partner matching method in a costarring video further includes: searching the first user type for a video in which the second role is played, to obtain n1 videos; if there are less than n1 videos, searching the second user type for a video in which the second role is played, to obtain n2 videos; if there are less than n2 videos, searching the third user type for a video in which the second role is played, to obtain n3 videos; if there are less than n3 videos, searching the fourth user type for a video in which the second role is played, to obtain n4 videos; if there are less than n4 videos, selecting a video whose total score is greater than a score threshold s from videos in which the second role is played in the fifth user type, to obtain n5 videos.

In this embodiment, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, and s are set according to a requirement of a product, and may currently be 2, 6, 8, 10, 16, and 100. n1 is the maximum quantity allowed in the first user type. n2 is a sum of the maximum quantity allowed in the first user type and the maximum quantity allowed in the second user type. n3 is a sum of the maximum quantity allowed in the first user type, the maximum quantity allowed in the second user type, and the maximum quantity allowed in the third user type. n4 is a sum of the maximum quantity allowed in the first user type, the maximum quantity allowed in the second user type, the maximum quantity allowed in the third user type, and the maximum quantity allowed in the fourth user type. n5 is a sum of the maximum quantities allowed to be demonstrated in all of the user types.

In an embodiment, the step of synthesizing a complete video from the selected video in which the second role is played and the video in which the first role is played includes:

if a user type having a higher priority includes a video in which the second role is played, selecting a video whose total score is the highest and in which the second role is played from the user type having a higher priority, and using the selected video whose total score is the highest and in which the second role is played as a selected video in which the second role is played; or

if a user type having a higher priority does not include a video in which the second role is played, selecting a video whose total score is the highest and in which the second role is played from a neighboring user type having a lower priority, and using the selected video whose total score is the highest and in which the second role is played as a selected video in which the second role is played.

For example, the first user type has a priority higher than that of the second user type, the first user type includes a video A1 and a video A2 in which the second role is played, the second user type includes a video B1 and a video B2 in which the second role is played, and a total score of the A1 is higher than a total score of the A2, and a total score of the B1 is higher than a total score of the B2. Regardless of the magnitude of the total scores of the B1 and the A1, the priorities of the user types are used as a reference first. Because the priority of the first user type is higher than that of the second user type, a video is selected from the first user type first. If the first user type includes a video in which the second role is played, the video A1 whose total score is the highest is selected from the first user type as a selected video in which the second role is played. The video is selected from the second user type only when the first user type does not include a video in which the second role is played.

In another embodiment, videos in which the second role is played in all user types may be ranked according to the magnitude of total scores, and then a video in which the second role is played and whose total score is the highest is recommended to the first user.

The following describes an implementation process of the partner matching method in a costarring video with reference to a specific application scenario. The user types include a star, a friend of a user, a person followed, an expert, and a common user. A maximum quantity allowed in the star type is 2, a maximum quantity allowed in the friend type is 4, a maximum quantity allowed in the person followed type is 2, a maximum quantity allowed in the expert type is 2, and a maximum quantity in the star type, the user-friend type, the person followed type, the expert type, and the common user type are increased to be 16. The implementation process includes:

(1) Obtaining a video recorded by a user and in which a first role is played and attribute information of the user that plays the first role.

(2) Obtaining videos in which the second role is played in the star type, the friend type, the person followed type, the expert type, and the common user type and attribute information of users that play the second role.

(3) Ranking, in descending order of total score, the videos in which the second role is played in each of the star type, the friend type, the person followed type, the expert type, and the common user type, to select an allowed maximum quantity of corresponding videos.

Total score of a video cp=Feed score*user attribute score. Feed score=a sum of basic scores of videos including the video cp. Basic score=play score+interaction score. Play score=5.6 *play times/demonstration times. Interaction score=(comment times*128+like times*46.1)/play times. User attribute score=1+of opposite sex (+0.2)+in a same region(+0.1)+an age difference is within 3 years old(+0.2).

As shown in FIG. 6, videos in which the second role is played in the star type are A1 and A2, videos in which the second role is played in the friend type are B1, B2, B3, and B4, videos in which the second role is played in the person followed type are C1 and C2, videos in which the second role is played in the expert type are D1 and D2, and videos in which the second role is played in the common user type are E1 to E6.

FIG. 7 is a structural block diagram of a partner matching apparatus in a costarring video according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the partner matching apparatus in a costarring video includes: a first obtaining module 702, a second obtaining module 704, a score evaluating module 706, a ranking module 708, a demonstration module 710, a selection module 712, and a synthesis module 714.

The first obtaining module 702 is configured to obtain a video recorded by a first user identifier and in which a first role is played by the first user.

The second obtaining module 704 is configured to obtain a configured user type, a video in which a second role that matches the first role is played and a second user identifier that plays the second role in each user type.

In this embodiment, the user type may be configured according to a requirement. The user type may include a first user type, a second user type, a third user type, a fourth user type, a fifth user type, and the like, and is not limited thereto.

For example the user type may include a star, a friend of a user, a person followed by a user, an expert, a common user, or the like. A star is a person with a particular identity. A friend of a user is an instant communication friend or mobile contact friend, or the like. A person followed by a user is a person followed by the user in a social application program. An expert is a specialist or an outstanding person in a field. A common user is a user except a star, a friend of a user, a person followed by a user and an expert.

When a user type is obtained, a user list corresponding to the user type is obtained. In a user list of each user type, all user identifiers in the user type and videos in which the user identifiers play a role are recorded. A video in which the second role is played and a second user identifier are found in the user list.

The score evaluating module 706 is configured to obtain a total score of videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier for each user type.

In this embodiment, because one user type may include videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by one or more second user identifiers, a score of a video in which the second role is correspondingly played by each second user identifier is evaluated, to obtain a total score of the video in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifier.

For example, the user type is a star. Both a star A and a star B played the second role. A video in which the second role is played by the star A and a video in which the second role is played by the star B are obtained, and a total score of the video in which the second role is played by the star A and a total score of the video in which the second role is played by the star B are evaluated.

The ranking module 708 is configured to rank, in descending order of total score, the videos in which the second role is correspondingly played by the second user identifiers for each user type.

In this embodiment, in each user type, the videos in which the second role is played are ranked in descending order of total score, that is, the videos in which the second role is played are ranked for each independent user type, and are not mixed with other user types. For example, a video in which the second role is played in the star type is not comparatively ranked with a video in which the second role is played in the user-friend type. In addition, the videos in which the second role is played for each user type may be ranked in ascending order of total score.

The demonstration module 710 is configured to respectively demonstrate a ranking result of the videos in which the second role is played for each user type.

The selection module 712 is configured to obtain a video selected from the ranking result and in which the second role is played.
